Give every AI on the team the same method.

A specialist is how your team does a job, written once: how to review a contract, how to write release notes. Each person's AI runs it on the spaces that person reads.

The Specialists page: Analyst, Legal, Bookkeeper, Copywriter, Recruiter, Support, Translator, and others, each with what it does, your role, its pages, and who it is shared with
legal

The method is shared. The facts stay in each space.

Legal holds the steps and the voice; what a client space knows for it stays in that space. It reads only the spaces of the person who runs it.

The Legal specialist open in the cockpit: its folders, its first page with what it does and how it works, and the Edit and History buttons
sharing one

Share it with people, groups, or an agent.

A reader uses it; an editor improves it. Before anyone new reads it, its manager sees every page with the guard's findings. Its pages are open: our server reads them.

Sharing the Legal specialist: the Agents tab, with Support bot as a reader, and a role for the next agent
one method, many people

Each person's copy answers from their own pages.

A rep in Finance gets the floor; a rep outside it does not. These are examples, invented for this page.

in every brain

Three specialists come with every brain.

They are instibrain's own, and no space can edit them.

claude code

Claude Code subagents, shared by a team.

Is a specialist a Claude Code subagent?
Yes. On each computer it is ~/.claude/agents/<name>.md, which reads its hub first, then knowledge/<name>/ in each of your spaces.
How is it different from a Claude Code skill?
A specialist syncs. Change its method once in the brain, and the subagent on every teammate's computer runs the new one.
Who can change a specialist?
Its editors and managers. A reader's copy is read-only, and the brain's text wins over a change made there.
How is a specialist shared?
Its manager shares it with people, groups, or agents, after a review of each page and its description with the guard's findings.
How many pages can a specialist hold?
Fifty. The facts belong in the spaces, in knowledge/<name>/, so the method stays short.
Can a folder I already have become one?
Yes: instibrain specialist adopt turns a folder of a space into a specialist. A sealed space's folder cannot, since a specialist's pages are open.

Write how the team does a job once. Every AI runs it.

Change the method, and every teammate's AI runs the new one at its next read.
